Constance Hall has posted an update to her Facebook page, responding to critics of she and Bill’s separation.
The popular blogger and author wrote that she has been “forced to defend [her] position” following a slew of online abuse since announcing the separation on Friday afternoon.
“I wanted to keep things kind and respectful in the pubic eye, to protect my children and even to protect Bill, but there comes a time where I need to protect myself too,” she said.
Hall responded to claims that she has kept her four children away from Bill.
“Firstly, I have never ever kept my children from him. In fact the opposite, I have begged Bill to spend time with our kids, before I left, he was always too busy with work and now I have constantly asked the kids if they will come back to Perth to see him,” she wrote.
“From the bottom of my heart all I have ever wanted is a healthy relationship between my kids and their father.”
